We posted a video released by the FBI showing the shooting death of LaVoy Finicum, father of 11, who traveled to Oregon from Arizona to join the ranchers protest of the unfair treatment by the Federal Government’s BLM agency. Finicum was reportedly shot several times by federal agents during a traffic stop on Highway 395 in Harney County.

His daughter, Challis Finch had this to say about her father: “He’s a great man, and just because he’s dead doesn’t mean his fight will not go on. He’s now a martyr.”
